South Korean Ha Na Jang takes LPGA

Singapore title by four strokes

SINGAPORE
(AP) - Ha Na Jang enhanced her growing reputation as one
of the hottest players on the LPGA Tour by winning the HSBC Women’s
Champions tournament by four strokes today.Playing like a
seasoned veteran, the 23-year-old South Korean fired six birdies and an
eagle in a brilliant final round of 7-under 65 to finish at 19-under at
Singapore’s Sentosa Golf Club.Her
playing partner, Thailand’s Pornanong Phatlum, closed with a bogey-free
68 to take outright second at 15-under while South Korea’s Amy Yang
birdied the last hole for a 71 to take third place with 11-under, one
shot clear of a group of five players.Jang captured her maiden LPGA title at the Coates Golf Championship in Florida last month and has quickly made it two.
